Did anyone get Flash 7 to work with the Diamond Opera 9.5? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

This has been asked in that other Diamond Opera 9.5 thread by like 3 different people. One person claimed to get Youtube type sites working just fine by simply installing Flash 7, but I tried this on my Touch and I still get the same message that a Flash player needs to be installed to play videos on this site.
Since so many have asked, and since someone claimed to get it working but without really telling us how, I figured it may be prudent to open this thread so maybe we can focus on this problem instead of what is mainly discussed in the other thread (how to install on the storage card).
So...for anyone that got flash working on Opera Mobile 9.5, how'd you do it?

Why create new thread ? Why not to post in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643

or even here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398571

For the reason I stated above, a lot of people have been asking the same question in the Diamond Opera 9.5 Mobile thread, but people seem to focus more on how to get it to work on the Storage card, not the Flash issue.

no its not the storage card issue that we should be conderned about. I AM more concerned on how to install opera with out a cab file just like build 405, which i am using. the reason is you can transfer the 6 mb opra exe file and its almost the same as installing it into the sd card. in fact, some install sd cabs install just the cache and leave the 6 mb file somewhere in the /windows file, which will anihalate your pdaif you dont have enough memory.
anywasy, someone, help this guy here, i mean... help us, we have the same problem.
i repeat, I want to manually install the files (cache etc.) into the proper path then use opera frm the storage card just like build 405.

Yeah - What he said! Honestly, there have been many who haved claimed they got flash to work but nobody is willing - or able - to let the rest of us in on it. It really is a simple request but seems to get ignored.
Opera 9.5 is nice but it is very similar to opera mini with no flash and if that is the case I prefer mini.
So, please introduce the rest of the class to flash 101!

Anyone???????
Anyone care to respond?

I might try it when I have time, but since Flash 9 is being used everywhere, Flash 7 is kinda pointless

I didnt think it would work, but i started up youtube and videos played right in opera 9.5 build 1184! I'm running NFSFAN's custom bell rom (1.05) so he must have flash installed already (i didnt install it). However the video playback is so slow that it really isn't at all worthwhile.

Editing the FLash Lite 3.1 CAB

so i was wondering just how one would go about editing the flash lite cab floating around here to make it universally compatible amongst ppcs. is it outrageously complex?? are there liek any simple examples someone could give to show how the code might be changed?
i read a little about cab files but really felt like there had to be a simple solution to the overall buginess and unique situations needed for it to work. if some developers or techies can chime in on this ide love to learn a bit about how to accomplish these things. thanks in advance.
Why would you start a new thread rather than ask in the offical Flash Lite thread ?
Just Download OCP WinCe Cab Manger and open flash lite 3.1 and without modifying anything just press Save and now can install on PPC or SP

just a general tendency of people when they want to make sure they're heard.
totally. i just dont want my question to get buried in the 20+ posts per day that thread already gets. ive posted twice with only one response to anything i mentioned in the post. so i really wanted to ask an important question seperate from just "getting it to work somehow". is it possible to modify the file to be more compatible with the Kaiser WM6.1 so that it will function well right off the bat.
is the real issue that this cab and the opera versions everyone is using are both unofficial? meaning they both still contain bugs and compatibility problems. i wish there was a way to maybe rewrite the Flash Lite program that extracted so that its more universal.
btw, what does the above mentioned software do exactly?? since its already installable, im wondering if someone could change the program itself to work better with wm6.1 roms, and the latest version of opera 99% of time.
wow i posted not too long ago, this thread is now 4-5 pages burried!! hehe. so many posters. i guess thats why i love this site. but then again, i just wish someone would throw out some suggestions.
bump...would like to see this get working on at least all wm6.1 devices.

Diamond and Flashlite 3

okay, so flashlite 3 has been leaked, great! but why no instructions or reports in how to get it to work with htc diamond? all u hear reports from are kaiser usersl
I have the latest UK stock ROM and all i want to know is whether I can get flash working with the existing pre installed browser. I do not want an unclean installation method, nor do I wish to 'upgrade' my opera to some other build that is not customised for the diamond and that would lose key features such as the scroll wheel.
would appreciate your advice and experiences.

Thats the thing. I dont want to use a cooked ROM. I want to keep my stock ROM, furthermore I dont want to force any version of Opera that isnt officially customised for Diamond. eg, I dont want to lose the likes of scroll wheel support etc

not one person on that thread has appeared to have tested this with the HTC Diamond.
This is the problem.
It won't run on stock. It needs the newest OS core an Opera 1938

so basicly anyone who sticks to the stock HTC Diamond ROM has no way of using flash lite 3 with Opera?
Perfect.
Two steps forward, one step back.
Okay, considering it is the current leading WIndows Mobile device - can we please have some CLEAR CUT instructions as to how we can get Flash Lite 3 working on the HTC Touch Diamond? And by working I mean working on an OFFICIAL HTC stock ROM or network carrier ROM, I do not consider flashing to a cooked ROM and invalidating my warrenty a solution.
If Opera needs to be uprgraded, then please tell me how and what (diamond specific) features we lose.
Thanks.
I'm running Opera 1938 and I can still scroll with my finger to zoom, etc... Just try it, what have you got to lose?

As you probably or rather hopefully know, there is no official non beta Flash Lite 3.x for Windows Mobile x.x and Opera Mobile x.x. Yet. Let alone one customised for the Diamond. At least, AFAIK. So, as you clearly are a consumer, nothing wrong with that, and taking your past and present Diamond related threads and posts into consideration, my sincere advice is you ignore all versions floating around and keep on enjoying or loathing your device as it is
Why don't you wait until HTC or your network carrier publish one suited for your stock ROM, again nothing wrong with that, including step by step written and video instructions on how to install? Then wait some more for the first user reviews to roll in, before deciding to jump in head first
Or, you can put some effort in, search for how to upgrade Opera and scrolling, experiment with what is available and help others out by sharing another kind of experience, like a lot of XDA members do.
Come to think of it.. No, please don't! I don't think you've got what it takes, still nothing wrong with that. You would probably only end up whining some more about how the Diamond sucks donkey balls, how HTC has done you wrong by tricking you into buying this incomplete, non functional device, and about the demise of Windows Mobile in general. Now, that boring routine could bug me a little
Seriously, no hard feelings, I really hope you enjoy your Diamond with all it's pros and cons and take care!

darthbane2k if you have old flashlite or maybe flash installed it wont probably work even when you install new opera i had to hard reset it because i was unable to remove all parts left of flashlite 2.1 and flash 7
It worked reasonably in my Diamond , Youtube and other player based on
Flash, other swf, only render static.
Sorry for the English.
Rom version: 1.93.831.1.WWE - DiamondtProject Team
Radio version: 1.00.25.07
it works
Just Flashed My MDA Compact IV to Dutty V1.9.
It has Opera 9.5 1938 built in.
Then i installed the Flash Lite 3.1 cab.
Rebooted.
And lo and behold, i could view Youtube from within Opera!

Flash lite 3.1 working fine for me
opera 9.5 build 1938, install both opera and flash lite to device memory
using TLR3 ROM
Instructions for upgrading opera can be found in the development and hacking section in the opera 9.5 thread.
Instructions for installing flash lite 3.1 can be found in the development and hacking section, flash lite 3.1 thread
Instructions for flashing your ROM can be found in the sticky in the diamond ROM section.
If you dont want to flash your rom and upgrade opera then there is little chance of you using flash lite 3 until adobe release an official version. But if you dont want to flash your rom and upgrade spftware then these forums may be the wrong place for your questions.
maybe here will be a better place for you to find support for official adobe lite development
http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/
It's work for me too.
youtube work almost very well, but dailymotion (specially for french) don't work. Maybe in another version of flash lite, the 3.5 are in development.
Thanks a lot for the developper

How to test if flash is working? I went to youtube and it always gives me m.youtube.com (for mobile) and when I clicked on the video, the streaming thing (windows media?) pops up and the video never shows up from within opera...
I went to adobe test page and the flash test video is blank... does it mean that it doesn't work? Any other site that I can test if flash is working?
FYI, I have the latest Opera build installed on SwiftBl cooked ROM. And I have modified the Opera.ini file so that I can use gmail on opera.
Edit: Got it to work now. I can see youtube from within Opera. It's the opera.ini file that I have modified that made youtube not load the videos from within the opera (but pop up windows media instead). I have fixed it now.

Which Java VM..?

Hi all..! I have a euro niki 100, and just upgraded to Windows mobile 6.1 using the official rom update from HTC.. Speeds etc is better with 6.1..
However, i've encountered one minor issue with this upgrade.. It ships with Esmertec Jbed. And I guess this particular build doesn't play nice with Opera Mini.
The included build (i guess in the rom upgrade) is build 20080131. Opera Mini does work, however, the workarounds for getting it to work as signed (without the annoying nag screens) don't seem to work for me anymore. I think the old Java Vm version is the culprit. Is this version update-able..? I mean, i can't remove the current version using add/remove programs on the device.. Or is there a better Java VM out there, which would allow me to run, say Nokia s60 games aswell..? (read something about that aswell..) Some pointers please..? TIA
121 views and no reply whatsoever..? Wow..
having similar issue but not able to see any solution
Well, at least i have it fixed with the Esmertec jbed version that's in the default wm 6.1 update.
The workaround thats posted everywhere (edit the selector.utf file) doesn't seem to work (anymore?) because another file is missing (either in WM6.1 or in the newer version of Opera Mini, i don't know, would guess the latter..)
Anways, the solution to this "problem" is almost the same as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380504
In short; edit the selector.utf file as mentioned in the thread.. You should be able to find it in the \Windows\appdb directory on your device. Then, and this differs from the thread mentioned before, don't create or look for a JavaDb folder in your \Application Data directory, cause it doesn't exist. Instead, place the posted policy.utf file in the \Windows\appdb directory for the selector.utf fix to work. Kinda stupid i didn't try this before, but the search on XDA din't help me out there either so..
Now to see how Java games run on this Esmertec Jbed client..
Edit: Credits to truggl for posting his fix and uploading the necessary files..

5 bumps without so much as even a search! I just searched google for h264.cab, ac3.arm.cab, and FlashvideoBundle 1.4.4. Every single cab file showed up first link. Does anyone even know how to search anymore?
It doest work, why dont you just try to use the build in youtube app that was posted here? The desktop youtube only works with some video because newer video were encode differently and it doesnt support flash 3.1 and to me it looks like Sh!t anyway. Just use the youtube application.

I do apologise, i did search however unlike you state the first link is not always a good one, many of the links were invalid. I have now downloaded the files and follwed the instuctions and it works through IE but not opera so im sticking with the youtube player which seems to work relatively well.
Thank you all for your replies. It has been appreciated.

Why UpToDate (medical program) does not work in most of custom ROMS

Dear Friends,
UpToDate is the medical textbook program. Inside there are a lot of files in HTM and JAR format. ( http://www.uptodate.com/home/index.html )
Most of custom ROMs out there do not let this program work. Only ship ROMS and Onkolog ROMs do.
I am not sure that it is about different opera and java program or not
Please guide me the way.
Thank you very much in advance for your kindness.
In response to why UpToDate doesn't work in most ROMS, it is because Opera is the default browser. UpToDate works with pocket internet explorer only it seems. You have to make Pocket IE the default browser. This solved my problem with UpToDate. Hope this helps. There should be a cab file around. I believe it is called Fix IE or something like that, unfortunately I am unable to locate the link right now.
here's the app being referred to
Unfornately, with the new IE6 thats has been added to the new custom ROMS, uptodate wont work, still looking for a fix to that, maybe the new version coming up, UpToDate 17.1 will work with the new IE..... if anybody has solved this problme, please contact me!!! thanks.
Thank u my friends, I try Fix IE to Maryone and Laurentius and Dutty' s ROM . It does not work. It may as doctorcete explained to us.
Still hoping that it can be fixed.
Thank you all of you.
still no go on this one
I use the rapahael and I have the same problem please I really aprecciate a hand on this
it is because some module is lacking from IE OEM

Help!
I have the same problem with energyrom 2.0.
Uptodate requires windows 5.0 or 6.0 according to their sites. I don't know why it wouldn't install on anything above it. It works fine on 6.0. On 6.1, however, I don't get errors but I can't read topics when I select them ... nothing is displayed.
I have the same problem too and would love someone to make a fix in a .cab format so we can just install it before installing UpToDate and it works. Or maybe explain us how to include that module in IE without cooking a new ROM?
Thanks!!

I tested Dutty's 2.1 ROM on my HD and UpToDate 16.3 worked fine. above that: it won't work.
I am also trying to run UpToDate in my Elf with Onyx 5.0 Beta WM6.5 ROM, but no luck yet. Can anyone post the easier solution beside cooking rom
Personally, I don't use custom ROM as I don't to mess up uptodate.
Fix IE works as the Opera would no longer be launched if I tab on the table of contents. But there would be occas. crash.........................According to Uptodate, they have never tried uptodate on HTC machine and they only recommended not to use opera as default.
IE fix really helps a lot, near 95% OK in daily function.
i had absolutely no crashes at all with 16.3 version with ie fix and the new stock official ROM and i want that with the new custom roms with the new manilla and all the new features but i can not afford not to have a fully working pocketpc UpToDate.. also trying out 17.1 version seems pretty much as it was with the previous version as in no crashes - till now - .. and on a side note i havent tried IE Fix but i am doing something that does the same thing exactly in making ie is the default explorer by installing any version of opera to the storage card and then uninstalling it.
still waiting for a reply on how to squeeze in the missing IE module in new custom roms
I personally Haven't used UpToDate. can someone please tell me from where to download cab / installation for WM devices? (I couldn't find it on their website.
Well ,as far as this problem is concerned, IMHO , why don't you all report this problem to Dutty (or any other cook) himself ? I guess they can guide you better than anyone else??

Goofywasun IE Module
sorry about answers lately
anyone who would like to ask please PM me
it will get response faster
UpToDate need 2 things
1 IE module i mention above in page 1 that must replace in your kitchen
you cant use this or add this in others people rom
so there still be the limit that this or that rom cant use uptodate
2 fix IE in case that you has manila in your device
you must install this after install opera or after flash your romo
anyone want to use in Touch HD can use this rom
no pass need
